Joyce L. Arriola’s new book is a remarkably prescient study of Filipino popular culture. Combining in equal measure historical imagination, cultural understanding, and sensitivity to film and komiks, it generates numerous insights and pathways of inquiry that the interested reader can pursue with profit. Carefully researched, lucidly written, cogently argued, and theoretically sophisticated, this book will make a distinctive contribution to the growing body of critical literature on Asian popular culture.

At a time when comic book characters appear on the big screen with some regularity, and American research on comics-to-film adaptation is ripe, Joyce L. Arriola's book is most welcome. Not only does Pelikulang Komiks ... offer a non-Western perspective on film adaptation, but it does so with systematic research, thorough analysis, and clear expression. Professor Arriola has made a significant contribution to both cinema and comic art theory for which we are grateful.
